- Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I believe you CAN save 1st Word Plus files
- as ascii files by first switching off WP mode under the EDIT menu, then
- saving the file. In other words, open a previously created file, switch
- off WP, then use SAVE AS... under the FILE menu, name it what you want,
- and presto... ascii file! :-)
-
- By switching off WP before creating a document, it will be saved directly
- as ascii without any format or layout imposed by 1st Word Plus.
-
- Hope this helps,
- Bruce...
